Found this link on rkp about how they attempted to mount several tires onto the allroad (although the disc version). Seems like other tires would work

I received an email today from Planet Cyclery that my wheels have shipped. Tracking number indicates label was created, but wheels are not yet in the Fedex system.

I received the same email, but followed by another email that indicates that while a label was created, the supposedly in-stock wheels will not be in-house for another week!
Unless the two remaining wheelsets sold out in the minutes after the page had refreshed, (which is possible), that's like a form of bait-and-switch in my book, since the site indicated 2 pair in stock at the time that I placed my order. But they were selling fast, I saw four pair in stock just 20 minutes earlier. |

Peter/ Old Potatoe can build a better set of wheels for similar money and no wondering if they'll show up. Just sayin to think abt buying within forum people.
However, OP does not own a yellow station wagon with roof racks and labels on the side. |

No horse in the race but what kind of wheel set for $300?

Don't now why people are getting worked up over this. I have built my own wheels for 20 years. I cannot build a wheel with a quality hub and a wide rim for $279. Also consider they include tires, stems, sealant. If they don't ship, you get a refund. What's the problem? This will be the first pair of factory built wheels I have ever owned, but I am looking forward to receiving them. Or getting a refund.

Ask him what would be competitive with tires/tubes for $279 shipped? |

Maybe unclear
Maybe I did not make myself clear, he hates Mavic wheels, all the proprietary stuff, the fact that the aluminum spokes and nipples seize up. He just does not like Mavic, also not a fan of Trek/Specialized, all of Pacific’s offerings, new Raliegh bikes.
He would likely advise me to pick up a used set of wheels with CK, DT or some other good hub , on guess what...Mavic Open Pros. He is a great guy, but he won’t be happy I have a set of Mavic wheels even if they are a tremendous deal |

I plan to try to wear out the included tires before changing tires for the 'cross season. These wheels will be an upgrade over my seasons-old Cane-Creek wheelset which is quite narrow at the same weight.
My Excell order shipped today, the Planetbike order is still awaiting their receipt of a quantity of these wheels from whoever. I noticed these All-Road wheels weren't featured at the NAHBS Mavic booth. |
